Today–Department parties,
Employees’ pot luck eating hearty…
Taking home
Leftovers warm,
They’ll have it at home “ala cart-ee”.

NOT MORE THAN TWO OR THREE TIMES!
My wife won’t eat leftovers
More than twice at a time…
And if I try to doctor it up
It could end up as slime.
–
My wife likes things purer,
I tend toward the mixed…
If I were surer
They’d be less often nixed!
–
Tonight is Yankee Chop Suey,
Without the onions and pepper…
A burrito as a garnish—
If properly cooked would be better!

HR MEETINGS!
H.R. meetings hold merit
In leftovers to inherit….
“Ziggy” to me slips
A full bowl of chips,
And four diet sodas–they share it!
–
Was going for some caffeine,
But Diet Coke does the same thing….
Diet root beer
I’ll readily cheer,
So easily happiness springs!

CATCH-AS-CATCH-CAN
What’s for dinner tonight,
A jumble of foods in sight…
Catch-as-catch-can
Leftovers again,
Enough to fill us up right.
–
i see four links of sausage,
Graham crackers in a package…
Chunky peanut butter
Naval orange–another-
Wrap up this supper’s forage!
–
for sausage it’s microwave time,
As long as they’re cooked it’s fine…
Feeling like a dork–
I forgot a fork–
Better planning next time!

LEARNING TO EXPECT THEM!
Leftover food for the guard,
Isn’t a problem too hard…
He can’t expect
A regular collect,
Nor play that “you owe me,” card!

MY “SISTER” MARY
MY “SISTER” MARY
(a few years ahead of me in school)
Today I thought of Mary,
Who made Methodist time merry…
Her guitar
Made her our star,
‘Though the woman was ordinary.
–
Like me was milked for what she did,
And after a while she just hid…
No one to care
Beyond her talent there,
Doing as others bid.
–
I think she left the church,
Being ignored was a besmirch…
Spiritually
Starving like me,
Began her own soul search.
–
What’s happened I don’t know,
Has she found that God’s Love glow…
Or have some one’s arms
Betrayed her charms
Bringing her life down low?

ALL THE COMFORTS…
ALL THE COMFORTS…
Comfort is on Monday
To find coffee in the pot,,,
It’s just fine when black,
And needn’t be hot.
–
Security Guards can
Be a happy lot…
Leftovers in the kitchen and
Secure in the job they’ve got!
–
We are secure in
Being doorkeepers…
In most places,
They can’t get us much cheaper!
–Jonathan Caswell
FULL UP
FULL UP
I got me some hamburger pizza
After Chef Boy-ar-dee…
I find I’m filling faster,
So I say, “woe is me!”
–
I ordered a large one
After the straight-from the can…
My wife’ll enjoy leftovers,
I feel like a bloated man.
–
Those eyes bigger than the tummy
Have caught me once again…
Next time I’ll order smaller
Or learn to share with a friend.
–Jonathan Caswell
FISH CAKES AND COLD PIZZA
FISH CAKES AND COLD PIZZA
Gastronomic delights
Fortify my nights…
Catch as catch can
For mortal man,
Whatever comes into sight!
–
Sampled kitchen leftovers,
Manicotti…over and over…
The overcooked sauce
I considered loss,
But then, I’m a late-night drover.
–
I took my insulin
And shoveled more food in…
Cold fish cakes and stuff
Were more than enough
To keep me from wearing thin.
–
Oh yeah, I do have an apple,
Another “cold” food to grapple…
Prob’ly going home,
Under my car dome
While finishing a bottle of SNAPPLE*.
–Jonathan Caswell
* SNAPPLE…an American brand of bottled and flavored ice tea
ALMOST GONE…ALAS!
ALMOST GONE….ALAS!
Those leftover cookies and Danish
Soon enough will vanish…
No one can fault
Opportunity caught,
With nothing left for you, Hamish!
